Kamala Harris’ vice-president choice narrows to Walz and Shapiro, sources say
- Presidential candidate expected to announce selection ahead of first public appearance with running mate on Tuesday evening in Philadelphia
Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has narrowed her search for a vice presidential running mate to two finalists, Governors Tim Walz of Minnesota and Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, three sources with knowledge of the matter said.
Harris, the US vice-president, is expected to announce her selection by Tuesday, ahead of her first scheduled public appearance with her running mate that evening at Temple University in Philadelphia.
In a message to supporters late on Monday, Harris said she had yet to make her decision.
“I know many of you are eager to find out who I will be selecting to join me on the campaign trail, and hopefully in the White House, as my Vice President,” she wrote.
“Though I have not made my decision yet, it is important to me that grassroots supporters - like you - have direct updates about the state of the race,” she said, offering voters a chance to sign up on a link to get news of the announcement first.
